Yep. I know exactly what our players will do , every time we have possession from a mark, free kick, or kick in. It's all % based and works mostly. But being so predictable is starting to be found out by sides who adapt and take some risks

I was on Jordons wing all night, we worked his guts out and one of our better players I thought. Actually was looking to attack most of the time

This. Brayshaw moves back to the wing/half back. We miss Bowser's ability to create and kick a 20-30 m 45 degree kick that turns defence into an offence. All our defenders kick long down the line and we just need to mix it up

Same I sat in a Melbourne area that borders the MCC and they're fans where not interested in sticking it to us then cheering on their team

In the end got what we deserved

A couple of goals kicked on him where of the opponent the either lever, may or Petty where on before they went to the bench. Our 3 bigs are coming off too much

They have gotten each arsey goal and 2 gifts from the umps. We just need to keep up the pressure in the 2nd half and we got this.

Gave me the sh it's as well

Pyke didn't show good judgement or leadership. He either thought what was happening was ok which is a worry or wasn't strong enough to stand up and say what was happening isn't right. As the coach he is the most senior figure that the playing list, young men look up to, he failed them

My amatuer analysis concurs with your rain radar read

Pretty steady rain now

I'm 6 km from the ground. Light drizzle. It's cloudy and I think may rain during the game but dossent look like it will be heavy like last week against Freo.

And Gawn played out the game with the ankle injury he missed weeks with

Park in a carpark on Flinders st. Tram or walk from there. That's the quickest way out. The car park is closed for 20 minutes after the game at the MCG. You'll be in your car and away before the MCG car park opens let alone get out of it

I think his first words after the silent death stare where, I'm great father, husband , FU mfer's, I'm gonna cup your sacks after the game

Can't say I loved it. Not a fan of giving opposition any extra motivation as insignificant as it may be to the final result

Probably not helpful Ed

Will be interesting to see. Make sense either him or Hunt , I guess. I think both offer something that harmes can't and we have enough of what harmes brings to the team. Having said that harmes has been a good contributor over a long period so I'll back in the selection committee

Does ready to go mean they are in the team ? Didn't catch the interview with Goody. I'd be happy with BBB in for weid and leave the rest of team as is. I think hunt is our best matchup for ginnivan.

That's a really good initiative from a sponsor, get on board people

Was the camp our players objected to run by the same jokers who ran the Adelaide one? I'm sure word got around to players at different clubs about what went down there.

Says in Eddie's book that the "mind" training began in the middle of 2017. Included things like training their game face as they run through the banner and the stupid stance. So yes I'd think it had a part to play in him leaving at the end of that season. That club is still recovering. Imho Ricuttio has a lot to answer for. He might not have instigated it but he knew what went down and has used his platform as a director of footy at Adelaide FC, a mmm breakfast host and Fox footy commentator to play it down at every opportunity, as recently as this morning

And Salem knocking himself out carrying a backpack full of bricks

Another reason to be proud of our Club, and reminder of the great man Jim was and his lasting legacy.

Id be really nervous about tMac coming back in to a hot finals game after that injury and long off.
